Naples Attractions & Things To Do

Such a great experience! Nature and then being dropped off to a private beach! Dolphins, birds, shelling, and the water was so warm! Chris and Braxton were excellent! Funny, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

My family and I had a wonderful time on the tour. Glenn was very friendly and engaging. He made the experience so enjoyable with the fun tunes that were played while also providing a ton of history and fun facts about Marco Island. His safari bus was very clean and comfortable and we were able to see many beautiful mansions and some of the wildlife that lives on the island. The hour and a half was the perfect amount of time to see everything. If you're looking for a fun and unique excursion with your family and friends, definitely book this tour!

If you’re even remotely interested in sea shells, do yourself a favor and book a trip with Florida Adventures. My friends and I joined Capt. Colleen for opening day at the Cape Romano shoal, and it was hands-down one of the most enjoyable excursions I’ve ever been on.Capt. Colleen is an absolute gem — a master captain and true master naturalist who clearly lives and breathes this ecosystem. She wasn’t just driving the boat and pointing out dolphins; she and her 1st mate Dylan (who is a marine mammal specialist) taught us the whole time, explaining the biology, tides, and history of the area in a way that was engaging even for experienced nature nerds. Dylan also helped us solve the mystery over who smarter, a dolphin or an octopus? Diplomatic answer- they are both equally as smart in their own way. Colleen & Dylan’s enthusiasm was contagious, and they made the day feel like an adventure with knowledgeable friends rather than a typical tour.Opening day at Cape Romano shoal marks the start of the SWFL shelling season and sometimes referred to as the “Black Friday” of shelling. But it’s such a fun way to kick the shelling season off and the boatloads of shellers attending were way nicer than any Black Friday shoppers. Capt. Colleen knew exactly where to point us for the best shell piles, and we came home with some nice specimens and a much deeper appreciation for the coastal ecosystem.If you’re looking for a shelling eco-tour that’s fun, educational, and led by people who genuinely care about the environment, book with Florida Adventures and ask for Capt. Colleen. I’ll absolutely be back!

Very nice time. We got to see local wildlife and see the mangroves. Very interesting the way they grow and the wildlife the utilizes them for protection. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and a great kayak teacher we were able to follow the mangroves without any issues. I would recommend this to anyone looking to see wildlife and enjoy time out on the water.

Pedaling a kayak is so much more pleasant than paddling! These kayaks are awesome and well worth the fee, especially since I won't have sore arms for the rest of the vacation. Doug was the highlight of our tour, even though we were lucky enough to see a herd of manatees and a dolphin, and we were able to be out in the gulf on super calm waters on a clear beautiful day. He was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna we saw, had lots of recommendations for around the area, and made sure we were comfortable. Will have to come back during higher tides to see mangrove tunnels. Book the hobies, book a tour, you'll love it! -Meredith from Ohio

My family and I took the guided Hobie tour with Doug and had an absolute blast. Due to the low tides, Doug led us on an extended Gulf tour where we got to hang out with a herd of manatees and learn about the local wildlife. He was an overall outstanding tour guide (we likely would not have seen the manatees without his good eye) and took amazing photos of us through the entire trip. He was accommodating to my mother who has limited mobility from multiple knee surgeries and helped us get familiarized with the hobie style kayaks before we took off which were very fun to use. He also came prepared with ice cold waters, dry bags, and most importantly, a great uplifting vibe!

Matthew was our evening guide! He was fantastic - very engaging, knowledgeable and kind. We had a super family evening, weather and company were the BEST. We highly recommend this company and Matthew!

Great experience would definitely recommend. Chandler was a amazing tour guide

Great tour, worth the money. Gave me a new appreciation for Marco.

Captain Colleen was a wealth of knowledge about the eco system and shelling! What an amazing trip. She was sweet enough to share some of her tips and a few finds with me :)

The experience was wonderful from start to finish! Thank you Eric!Everything was thoughtfully explained, from the booking process and location details to what to wear and what to bring. Getting into the kayaks was easy, and the instructions on how to maneuver and control the kayak were clear and helpful.Our guide, Eric, also made the experience especially enjoyable by sharing interesting facts about manatees and dolphins, including their habitat, behavior, and hunting techniques.The combination of excellent instruction, beautiful surroundings, and fascinating information made this an unforgettable experience.I would highly recommend this tour!

We had Ned and Devon as our guides. They did a great job. We were very happy with them.

Fantastic ride through the 10000 Islands, with break at an isolated beach all to ourselves. Driving the Craig Cats is a blast. Saw dolphins up close and personal too. Couldn’t be better.

My cousin and I had a fabulous experience with Keewaydin Shelling Dolphin and Beach tours! Joey our guide was very knowledgeable throughout our tour, explaining things to our group and he is easy to talk with and ask questions. Thank you Joey! The shells at Keewaydin were awesome finds, in limitless supply in the thousands! There was another lovely couple from Italy on our trip. We got back to the boat earlier than we needed to be. But it worked out great, because we had time to engage with some dolphins, who swam and jumped in our boat’s wake, it was awesome!😎 Thank you Joey for making that happen, seeing dolphins was on our bucket list!

We booked this guided kayak tour somewhat last minute and were not disappointed. The cost was very reasonable and clear instructions for pickup etc were provided. Our guide, Nick, was great! Very friendly and helpful. His local knowledge of the area history, wildlife, and plant life made for a great tour! Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins or manatees but plenty of birds, marine life, and collected some great shells. Nick even gave some great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend this tour and Nick!

The captain and crew were fantastic! We had the opportunity to see dolphins, beautiful homes, and the most gorgeous sunset ever!
